This is hilarious as he has drafted CoCs before. Peter is your stereotypical twitter SJW personality. He's not as bad as some people we could name here. He at least codes unlike most of the pretenders. You see kids - fascism is bad for everyone. You might think that just because you're a beta male that chastises everyone on every internet forum about 'muh sexism' to win points with the girls, even though they'll never fuck you cause you're beta, you're immune but this is proof that it is not the case. The only way to win this game is to not play the game.

Is there an explanation of this story for those of us who don't know this person or why he was banned? He mentions on Twitter that he was banned from Discord for excessive cursing. I'm not clear what the point of this is.

  Agreed, there is not enough context to even know why this is newsworthy. Why should we care?

  I recognize him for his efforts to bring Go to the enterprise world with https://gokit.io/ https://gokit.io/ and public speaking, rooting for Go, when Go was not as prominent as it is today. I don’t know the reasons why he got banned, but it feels irritating to ban such a prominent figure.

    Now I saw the google docs content and don’t feel irritated any more. Seems like a rational decision.

It's an unusual situation because the document I think pretty badly misrepresents what happened right up until Peter LOST HIS ENTIRE MIND. In particular, Brendan Dube is a well-known stupid prick on the slack and he was being a stupid prick in this particular conversation. Peter's initial response was well-deserved but oh man did he lose it afterward.
